1. What is the penalty for plagiarism at Stanford University?
The penalty for plagiarism in Stanford University is, for a first-time violation of the Honor Code is a one-quarter suspension and 40 hours of community service. If the student is in his/her final quarter of enrollment the standard practice is to convert the one-quarter suspension into a two-quarter delay in the conferral of the degree. If a student is not charged or found not responsible by a Judicial Panel then the grade earned is assigned without penalty. If a student is found responsible by a Judicial Panel then the faculty member alone has the sole authority to determine the appropriate grade. While the majority of faculty issue a NP in the course, some choose to give a zero on the assignment/exam in question.

Questions
In your opinion or experience, why do some students chose to cheat? What are some of the different reasons students give? Do you know people who cheated in high school or college? (you can respond generally. I am not looking for names).
Most of the student cheat on test or plagiarizing assignments, I think the reason to these are very simple and easy to know. Some student don't like to study, the reason that they have to go to school is because of their parent want them to or is because they want the degree so that they can get a better job in the future. By these reasons, they cheat. Some student just don't want to spend any time on the books or they think that hanging out with friend or play online game is better that sitting there and studing, to them studing and write an assignment is just a waste of time. I don't have any experience on cheating, because the education that my parent gave me is that a good grade does not show a person's personality, but cheating show's every bads of you. I never have been punished by a bad grade as long as I am honest with my parent. To most of the taiwanese's family, parent cares about the grade so much and so is every school and company when the use people, no wonder why students cheat. Take my little cusin for example, he is a very naughty boy, but never lies till he has been punished by my aunt every time for the bad grade, then he started to change his marks or lie to his mother that there was no tests......somthing like that. My aunt was freaked out by his behaver, my mom told her that instead of beting her son, but think through herself what have she done wrong, don't let a kid get use to make up a lie, because lie can be a habit.

Honesty may be the worst policy to get ahead in the world
When i read the china post, i wasn't very surprised by the result of the cheating students. In the paragragh it said "To them, honesty may be the worst policy to get ahead in the world." I do believe that to most of the people cheated on every things, and to most of the company boss likes the cheaters, they don't like honesty. Once you are honest to them , it means that you are displease to them then you'll be fire. That is how the education has thought the students. I don't know is anyone has been punish in high school or junior school or maybe elementry school, well i have. I studied in South Africa in my elementry school, once I accidently broke our teacher vase, i told our teacher that it was me that i broke it and i say sorry to her, the teacher didn't punish me, she said honsty is the best policy. But in taiwan is different, in high school i don't have a good relationship with our class teacher, and i was very bad in math, i always fail in quizes and always got "zero" for math but once i got 100 because i got a tutor teaching me math at home and finally i got 100, guess what i got punish by my class teacher saying that i was cheating just because i don't have a good relationship with her, i don't really care what that teacher thinks but i do really work very hard on my math as long as my perant believes in me. Luckly i have a great mom and dad otherwise i don't know what would i be now.
I think student cheating has a lot of reasons comes from teacher and their parents. No one is a cheater, if honesty can bring disaster than how can it be the best policy?
it said " On the other hand, these students are victims in a sense. They have not been properly taught that honesty is a virtue. Since childhood they have seen all around them shining examples of successful dishonesty, including their parents. Politicians cheat. Teachers cheat, too. Merchants cheat. Industrialists cheat. Bankers cheat. Judges and prosecutors also cheat. "
The socity is like this, how could people expect the student to be honest?

respond to second life
Nothing is impossible in the world. Well I think second life is really a coola game, it can let us have a second life although it's not real but it can fulfill our imagination. But i don't think is really good to have a job in second life or go to school in second life because we can't have the chance to comunicate with people or have any interactions with other people. It's a great game for relaxing but not good for reality. I have a computer game it's call the Sim City, it's kinda like the second life except it's not online game and it's not 3D, it's like a imitative game, You build your own city, it's a quite fun game. I think the second life might be the same, it might be a fun game!
peace or war
Peace or war? It has been a profound matter concerning humankind for so many centuries. You want peace or war? Yes, almost every one of us would say peace. But, if you look back through human history, you will see that wars have occupied a large part of our history books. Why is that? Because the totalitarians usually believe that war is the easiest way to solve the problem while peace needs great courage, patience and love to fulfill. For those who seek power and desire, peace is the most expensive and profitless thing. We can see from our history that every time when there is a dictator, there is war.
If we chose war as a way to solve disagreements or to grab power, do you know what the cost is? There were 10 million live dumped into the graves and seas in the First World War, because of the ambitions of a few totalitarian regims. And there were more than 50millon innocent lives killed in Second World War. From these two wars, we can see the horror and cruelty of war. Since the war is bound to cause so much harm, why do we, the innocent human beings have to get involed in it?

Love goes around the world
It is said that things in life work in cycles. We could say that what comes around goes around. Most people use this in a very negative way. We say that if you treat each other with disrespect then disrespect will be shown to you. Lie and people will lie to you and forth and so on. So I believe the same could be said for treating others with LOVE. It does seem to be so obvious that this would happen with out a second thought. But nothing could be further from the truth.
I will use the current situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Had not only American but every other nation be more in tune with the suffering and needs the people had then the situation would never had reached the point of war. Had we sent them machines and understanding not suspicion and contempt LOVE not HATE.
Then I believe their children and their children’s children would not strap bombs on their backs but would carry great fullness in their hearts. They would give to their own society what was given to them and when the reached a point where they could give they would do so with all sincerity because that is what was shown on them.
In other words, of love was weapon of choice that we each choose to defend ourselves with. The world would have no other alternative but to respond in the same way. So, is love what makes the world go around? Well, I’m not sure of other… but it is sure what I like to turn my axis on!
